Vertically configured video projection system

Abstract

A video projector is arranged with three color CRTs vertically aligned with respect to a forwardly located projection surface. The projection surface is in a room having opposite side walls on either side of said projection surface. The video projector is positioned closely adjacent either of said side walls, thus leaving the ceiling and floor areas of the room unobstructed. The arrangement facilitates non intrusive use of a video projector in a home environment.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A video projection system comprising: 
       a housing;  
       a video chassis in said housing;  
       three video projection CRTs in said housing;  
       means on said video chassis for developing deflection signals for each of said CRTs;  
       individual yokes mounted on the necks of said CRTs; and  
       means supporting said housing with said CRTs vertically aligned, said yokes being positioned on said necks such that an offset horizontal display is produced on a projection surface positioned forwardly of said vertically aligned CRTs.  
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1  wherein said projection surface is in a room that includes a side wall that is substantially perpendicular to said projection surface, said housing being positioned closely adjacent said side wall. 
     
     
       3. The video projection system of  claim 2  further including a cabinet containing said housing. 
     
     
       4. A video projection system comprising: 
       a cabinet;  
       a housing in said cabinet;  
       a video chassis in said housing;  
       three projection CRTs in said housing;  
       means on said video chassis for developing deflection signals for each of said CRTs;  
       individual yokes mounted on the necks of said CRTs;  
       said cabinet supporting said housing with said CRTs vertically aligned, said yokes being positioned on said necks such that an offset horizontal display is produced on a projection surface located forwardly of said vertically aligned CRTs, said projection surface being in a room having opposite side walls on either side of said projection surface; and  
       said cabinet being positioned closely adjacent either of said side walls.
